★☆How Is →UZUMAKI NARUTO'S← Driving?☆★

Lol. BAD. Errrr. That is. I know I'm a little late to the party, but RPing Naruto is one of my main joys in life. TELL ME HOW TO DO IT BETTER. Only way to become the best Naruto rper on the net is to get concrit in gratuitous amounts. Don't be gentle. Lamb can take it. ;3

Thank you so much for all the feedback! I was surprised to get it, since this post kind of got buried under all my other ones, but I'm always glad when people respond to this sort of thing.

What you've listed here is definitely stuff I can work with, but a lot of the first things you talk about is stuff I've heard before... I play a much different Naruto than most people are used to. Hopefully, that's a good thing. Sometimes it's not.

He's definitely a bit smarter here, academically, than in the anime, but I really think that a lot of his "smarts" get lost in translation. I guess what I'd say is that a lot of what you're talking about - spelling and all that - would be evident if this RP were all in Japanese. Since most of our players aren't fluent speakers, that obviously can't happen. Like in the anime, Naruto still can't read kanji, the most advanced Japanese alphabet very well. But spelling errors on the computer are much harder to make, since Japanese computer writing systems auto-correct. But, since I'm probably one of the only people here who knows this, I can let him loosen up on his spelling a bit (although, at this point, I'm really not sure that it would be in-character to do so).

You also mention the cussing, which I get talked to about. A lot of it is to counterbalance what's going on above, where people don't think Naruto sounds dumb enough because he can spell and whatnot. I've been brought up in an environment that taught me that the more you cuss, the less intelligent you sound, but that could definitely be exclusive to my household. Naruto certainly isn't as crude in the show as he is here... I thought this might be acceptable because THB's is an alternative universe setting, but if it's not I completely understand. I will try to have him cuss less, and more mildly.

And of course I will work on his temper. You're all very right - I think he may be a little too angry, and I will work to fix this.

Do you have any other suggestions, or examples of what I could do to change him positively?

Thank you for all that you've provided already. ♥
